Nicholas Coddington was baptized in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England on 22 Aug 1633. (1)  When he was about fourteen, the family moved to Homepatrick, Dublin, Ireland.  His father was involved in a chancery court case there on 27 Oct 1647. (2) Nicholas Coddington married Ellin Aston at Saint Michan, Dublin, Ireland on 30 Dec 1655. (3)
Nicholas was involved in several chancery court cases.  The first one was on 11 May 1658 when there was suit against "Joseph Fish, Nicholas Coddington and John Coddington," among others.  Joseph Fish was married to his sister, Bridget Coddington and John Coddington was his younger brother.  He was referred to as Nicholas Coddington, Esquire in a case on 7 May 1669 and his brother John Coddington was also in a later case dated 10 Feb 1679. (4)
Ellin, the wife of Nicholas Coddington probably died around 1660 as Nicholas married Anne Dixie about that time.  We know this because on the 23rd of Jan 1672 Nicholas Coddington was named as the administrator of the estate of Woolstane Dixie. (5) He and his wife Elizabeth had a daughter named Anne who was born on 1 Aug 1638 in England and the first two children of Nicholas Coddington were named Elizabeth and Dixie Coddington. (6)
Nicholas Coddington wrote his will on 6 Jul 1685 naming his wife, Anne, son Henry, Jane Elizabeth wife of William Hancock, brother John, eldest son Dixie Coddington, sister Fish and her son Benjamin, sisters Mary Tullis and Hanah Waller.  The will was probated 18 Jul 1685. (7)
